The Placement Admission Process

All admissions to Greenfields School follow a transparent and comprehensive referral process, designed to ensure fairness, equity, and the best possible match between the learner’s needs and our provision. As an independent school, we are committed to the principles of the Curriculum for Wales and the national mission for education, placing the wellbeing and progress of every learner at the heart of our approach.

Oversubscription:

In the event that the number of applicants exceeds the number of available places, processes are in place which are designed to be fair, inclusive, and in line with our school’s ethos and statutory requirements. These criteria are available upon request.

Transition and Induction:

Each admission is carefully planned. We work closely with families, local authorities, and previous education providers to gather a full picture of each learner’s educational history, strengths, and needs. Every new learner benefits from a personalised transition plan, which builds on their current provision and supports a smooth integration into school life.

Assessment and Baseline:

Upon admission, learners complete a comprehensive package of baseline and diagnostic assessments, carried out by our experienced teaching team. This enables us to identify starting points, tailor learning pathways, and set ambitious, achievable targets in line with the Curriculum for Wales and the Four Purposes.

Personalised Support:

Each learner is allocated a key tutor who provides ongoing pastoral support, helps the learner to settle, and ensures they feel valued as part of the school community. Individualised timetables, small group teaching, and differentiated learning ensure that all pupils can access the curriculum, re-engage with learning, and make progress.

Continuous Monitoring:

Progress is tracked regularly against baseline data and individual targets, with ongoing communication between school, families, and external agencies. This ensures that support remains responsive and that every learner is enabled to achieve their full potential.
